the electron falls and emits radiation. will it lose all it's energy by the time it reaches the event horizon or will it have enough (>2m) to produce a particle shower? Will other things happen?

You can probably work that our by realizing where the electron got all that energy from in the first place and how particle showers usually occur.
 
you are right, didn't think there. So what happens then? What effect does the curved spacetime have on the electron?
 
Nothing special - the electron does not care about curved space-time.
It'd alter the wave-function though... whenever you want to ask questions about relativity you have to say who is doing the observing and so on. When you want to do this for fundamental particles you have to talk about how the observing is happening. Otherwise everything is so general you won't get useful answers.

Perhaps if you were to explain what it is about an electron that leads you to suspect that something special may happen, or what sort of phenomina you are interested in?

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
According to the General Theory of Relativity, time does not pass on a black hole, which means that processes they don't work either. As the object becomes heavier, the speed of matter falling on it for an observer on Earth will first increase, and then slow down, due to the effect of time dilation. And then it will stop altogether. As a result, we will not get a black hole, since the critical mass will not be reached. Although the object will continue to attract matter, it will not be a...
